Better Agent Auth — Bereket Habtemeskel & Paola Estefania, Better Auth

The Agent Auth protocol introduces a novel approach to securing AI agents by treating them as distinct principals with their own identities, moving away from sharing user credentials. It defines a system for agent discovery, fine-grained capability-based authorization, and comprehensive traceability, enabling users to grant specific authority to agents and revoke it granularly. This paradigm shift offers enhanced security, accountability, and control over autonomous operations.
